Understanding the Postpartum Body
During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant musculoskeletal and hormonal changes. The growing baby alters spinal alignment, stretches abdominal muscles, and increases pressure on the pelvic floor. After delivery—whether vaginal or C-section—these changes can contribute to discomfort and dysfunction.
Common postpartum concerns include:
- Lower back and hip pain
- Pelvic floor weakness or pressure
- Core instability or diastasis recti
- Urinary leakage
- Postural fatigue and muscle tension
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), postpartum care should focus on ongoing physical recovery—not just the six-week checkup—highlighting the importance of addressing musculoskeletal and pelvic floor health early.
